EACC boss Kinisu quits amid push for public probe

Anti-graft agency boss Phillip Kinisu resigned Wednesday to avoid public scrutiny of his private business dealings, just one day after a Parliamentary committee recommended his ouster.

Mr Kinisu said a recommendation made by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) on Tuesday, asking the President to suspend him and appoint a tribunal to investigate allegations against him, made it difficult for him to discharge his duty.
